For what it is worth, my Bluetooth hearing aids just work on Ubuntu. Have not tried BLE.

Various uses of “find” in particular. “xargs” sometimes too. The capabilities of “bash” in general including scripting and the whole redirection, piping, and multiprocessing capabilities in particular.

Yes humans are terible at multitasking.

No. People do what they do.

What I find more laughable is people complaining profusely about windows but doing nothing about it.

Using something different is hard too. Most people are somewhere between cows and idiots. I have been using Python since the late 90s even on Windows and at work too. I got some strange reactions and push back over the years. You just have to not care. We see now how that turned out. Now everyone ahrees Python is useful.

However when many apps have a permission it becomes meaningless.

The thing about most default configs of any OS is that user storage is largely accessable to all apps. True of Linux, Android. Windows, …

Graphene has options to restrict that but you have to set it up that way. Android also has App sandboxing for app data.

Thinking through the threat model of course is always good as is hardening. All security is porous. Linux is fine generally. If one is exposing services on the public net it is not clear that any OS or software is sufficiently secure, that takes constant effort in terms of monitoring and management.

The primary reason to use Lemmey is decentralization and avoidance of Reddit enshitification. Lot of Lemmey blocks shit show lemmey nodes though I am sure they exist.

If you have never used a password on windows or some other authentication mechanism then your Windows is not very secure.

Most of the differences you quote are pretty much the same both systems.

I guess the one exception is the UAC prompt which on Linux is a bit more secure in that it requires a password. Some random person or app cannot just click through it.

There was a time when I looked at LCD screens I saw all the defects.

One of:

• Thank you and if good learn somthing. Asquestions.

• I know, if I know this.

• I do not want to hear it, if it is repetative garbage.

There are so many good providers in the EU. In the US basically those that implement MTA-STS are Google, Microsoft, and Comcast with all of their issues.

I actually ended up at shared hosting provider. I get 30 mailboxes for less than $100 per year. Only incoming MTA-STS though unless I went to my own VPS.

I like Joplin, but it is a note taker not an office suite. So kind of depends on what you want.

You can just use LibreOffice. On Android the app I have is Collabora. The server I use is Nextcloud though it could be anything that LibreOffice and Collabora can work with. I think there is also some sort of web version too of LibreOffice, but I’ve never tried it. Maybe called “LibreOffice Online”?

What is all this for criminals BS. Graphene is one of the best ROMs out there if your willing to use Google hardware. Pretty much just works and without the normal bloat.

That is interesting. You can do that by the command line. Basically run cryptsetup to map the encrypted partition, then run mount. Those commands could also be place in a bash script too. You may need sudo access to run cryptsetup. You will need sudo access for mount unless you configure it as user mountable and not auto mounted in fstab.

You also want script to umount it and unmap it with cryptsetup when done.

Graphically, maybe the Disks gnome tool can do.

You could ask duck.ai too then verify the commands with the man command so you know what they do.

Edit: Also crypttab and fstab are documented in man too as are cryptsetup, mount, and umount.

Edit: Good to not fully trust ai.

Generally what you do is to define the key and mapping of the second drive in /etc/crypttab usually referencing a file with the key. The root patrition which typically contains /etc is typically unlocked with a password you supply.

You can manually map the partions with cryptsetup and then mount them with mount.

VLC maybe.

Ubuntu though I am less liking the snap dependence. I would avoid atomic distros for now. They are just the latest fad. Not saying bad though.
